And then Tallulah spotted what I thought was a DBB. We followed it for about five minutes, flying strongly about waist height around the heath. Then it suddenly hovered frenetically over a grass tussock, and dived into it. When we had caught up, we saw it in copula with a female: a rare sight.

We quickly saw seven more DBBs. However, they were too active and I couldn’t photograph them. I did however get a Clouded Buff a bit later on.

And then another male DBB, which after much chasing, did settle in a photogenic position.
